Collage is an open-ended art form: you gather scraps and found objects, arrange them on a surface, and build something new. In this hands-on workbook, collage artist Claudine Hellmuth presents fifteen techniques for playing with everyday materials in fresh ways. She offers recipes for backgrounds that help when you face an empty page, and shows how to pair words with pictures to convey a feeling or tell a story. Readers also learn to work in buttons, old photographs and game pieces, to use transfer methods that layer images, and to try the textured effects of beeswax. The book closes by suggesting that a personal keepsake collage and a written journal can help an artist grow over time.
